There are flavors that accompany us throughout life, those that transport us to the warmth of home, to the family table where time seems to stand still. New menu in Tragabuches, make us understand that true cooking is a journey back to those moments, which is why we wanted to pay homage to our roots with the new section of our menu: “Grandmothers in the Kitchen – Tradition at the Table.”

This section is much more than a nod to the past; it’s a tribute to the love our grandmothers put into every dish. Those slow-cooked meals that fill the house with their aromas and warm the soul are the true stars.

When we say “Grandmothers in the kitchen,” we’re talking about the very essence of traditional Andalusian cuisine, about recipes passed down from generation to generation, and that you can now enjoy at our restaurant, with the same love and care they used. But at Tragabuches, we don’t just bring back tradition, we adapt it to modern times.

Tradition at the Table

We want you to feel at home, for each dish to embrace you and remind you of the joy of enjoying a good family meal. From the first bite to the last, “Grandmothers in the Kitchen” invites you to rediscover those flavors that, though simple, have the power to touch the soul.

So, when you come to Tragabuches and sit down at the table, you’ll be sharing more than just a meal. You’ll be connecting with tradition, with our roots, and, above all, with the love that has gone into preparing every dish. Because in the end, good cooking is a way of caring, of bringing people together, and of reminding us that the best things in life are the simplest.

Come to Tragabuches and let our grandmothers tell you their story through each of their dishes. We’re waiting for you with the same comforting stews, but with the unique touch of our house!

Two years ago, Tragabuches Marbella opened its doors, and since then, every visit has been a celebration of Andalusian flavors and essence. Today, on its second anniversary, we want to reflect on what these two years have meant, as it has become more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience that connects diners with the land, tradition, and innovation.

The Essence of Andalusia

Since opening in September 2022, Tragabuches Marbella has successfully blended the authenticity of Andalusian cuisine with modern touches that surprise even the most demanding palates. But it’s not just about fusing recipes or ingredients; it’s the story behind every dish that tells something deeper.

We’ve managed to create a space where traditional flavors find room for creativity and merge with trends, always respecting tradition but adding that innovative spark. Here, meals are not just food; they are narratives of our land. And after two years, Tragabuches has proven that Andalusian cuisine has much more to offer than just the classics, though those will always hold a special place.

On this 24th of September, 2024, Tragabuches Marbella turns two. Two years of sharing unforgettable moments, of traditions, and above all, of making each diner feel part of this story.

What drives us on this anniversary is to maintain the quality that defines us and to provide the warm and welcoming atmosphere that has always characterized us. We want you to come and enjoy the familiar flavors, and also to be surprised by some of our team’s recommendations.

Two years may seem like a short time, but for us, it’s been a journey filled with learning, encounters, and many smiles around the table. We’ve worked day by day to ensure that each visit to Tragabuches is special, and today we celebrate these first steps with the certainty that the best is yet to come.

We want to thank each of you for being part of this adventure. Without you, we wouldn’t be celebrating this second anniversary, and it’s your support that drives us to keep innovating while always staying true to the essence that defines us.

A Toast to What’s to Come

If you’ve been part of the Tragabuches Marbella family from the start, you know that every visit is a reminder of what brings us together: a passion for good food, shared experiences, and love for Andalusian culture. And if you haven’t yet had the chance to meet us, we invite you to become part of our story on this second anniversary.

We can’t wait to see what the coming years have in store, but we know one thing for sure: we’ll continue to stay true to our roots and to all of you, who make it possible for Tragabuches to keep growing.

The aperitif is not just a break to eat something before lunch; it’s a ritual, a way of life that connects us with the true pleasure of enjoyment. At our bars, this moment becomes a daily celebration that blends the best of tradition with culinary creativity. September 19, World Aperitif Day, is the perfect occasion to pay tribute to this classic ritual.

The Bar: The Heart of the Aperitif

Our bars aren’t just meeting points; they are where stories begin. Where the sound of a drink being poured and the clinking of cutlery greet you. At Tragabuches, local ingredients, carefully selected, are transformed into small bites full of flavor. From classic olives and toasted almonds to a selection of cured meats and artisanal cheeses, the aperitif at our bars has a special charm.

On September 19, we invite you to come to our bars to celebrate World Aperitif Day, where simplicity becomes extraordinary. A perfectly poured beer or perhaps a house vermouth? Here, every sip tells a story, and every bite invites you to discover something new. Our team knows the secrets to making this moment unforgettable.

At Tragabuches, we pay homage to tradition while always looking to the future. From our bar, we offer a reinterpretation of the aperitif, with innovative touches that surprise.

Andalucía on the table: Tragabuches’ daily menu to take a midweek journey to the South with every bite. The menu, designed to enjoy a lunch full of Southern flavors, is available from Monday to Friday at noon in Madrid and Marbella.

Highlights include starters like the cherry gazpacho, fresh cheese, pistachios, and basil (1998) or the famous pringá del puchero in a croquette, and main dishes such as the noodle stew with white shrimp, tuna, and clams, or the carne mecha in its own jus with oloroso wine.

Where it all began

In 1998, the Tragabuches concept was born in Ronda, Málaga, with the sole objective of becoming the first KM0 restaurant, where the product was the main protagonist of its gastronomic offering.

Twenty-five years later, chef Dani García continues cooking Southern flavors with his most authentic eatery in Madrid and Marbella, presenting a culinary proposal perfect for midweek enjoyment.

Tragabuches brings to the table dishes that are part of Andalusia’s culinary tradition, where each ingredient has a unique identity and comes from specific farms and producers with a story behind them. With flavors of home and family, they launch the “Andalucía on the Table” menu, perfect for enjoying a Southern-flavored lunch from Monday to Friday, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

The Menu

The menu, designed by Dani García, showcases seasonal products and begins with a choice of starters, such as the famous cherry gazpacho with fresh cheese, pistachios, and basil (1998), Russian salad with slices of acorn-fed Iberian ham, salmorejo, venison and pork country pâté, or a lovely Andalusian tomato salad.

It continues with a selection of hot appetizers, such as the famous pringá del puchero in a croquette, fried cod tortilla, fried egg with migas rondeñas, Iberian ham croquettes, carne mecha in its own jus with oloroso wine, or grilled leek with roasted pepper sauce and crudités.

Main dishes include highlights like blood sausage and razor clam rice, noodle stew with white shrimp, tuna, and clams, grilled picanha with green pepper sauce and fries, or grilled marinated chicken thigh with fries.

To finish, enjoy almond and red berry tart, egg flan, or the delicious cheesecake.

A menu to savor Andalusia with every bite and take a journey to the South through the most exquisite dishes.

At Leña, the art of grilling meat over fire is a constant celebration. A fundamental part of this experience lies in the cuts of meat, which are served with utmost respect for the product, making each visit a unique culinary journey. We invite you to discover three of the most special cuts on our menu: the old cow ribeye, the veal porterhouse, and the veal tomahawk.

Old Cow Ribeye: Unique Flavor and Texture

One of the most cherished treasures for meat lovers is the old cow ribeye. At Leña, we treat this cut with almost reverential respect. It comes from cows that have lived long and healthy lives, which translates into much more intense flavor, thanks to the time the fat has had to infiltrate the muscles. The ribeye is known for its marbling, that intricate network of fat that, when melted, infuses the meat with an unparalleled flavor. Its texture is juicy, tender, yet with character. This cut is ideal for those seeking deep, authentic flavor.

Veal Porterhouse: Two Cuts in One

The veal porterhouse strikes the perfect balance between two worlds. It’s a cut that combines the best of two pieces: the tenderloin and the sirloin. In the center, a small but firm portion of bone separates both cuts, adding extra flavor during cooking. At Leña, we grill the porterhouse with precise care to highlight the unique characteristics of each part. The tenderloin, soft and delicate, melts in your mouth, while the sirloin, slightly firmer, maintains that bit of resistance that makes it even more satisfying. This cut is perfect for those who want the best of both worlds on one plate.

Veal Tomahawk: The King of the Grill

Impressive in size and presence, the veal tomahawk is much more than a cut of meat—it’s a sensory experience. This cut is named after the Native American tomahawk due to its long bone, giving it a rustic and primitive appearance, yet with an unmistakable sophistication in flavor. The tomahawk is essentially a bone-in ribeye, and at Leña, each of its attributes is enhanced. Here, the slow fire and expert technique transform this piece into a masterpiece: meat with an incredibly juicy texture, deeply flavorful, and an invitation to enjoy it with all your senses.

The Art of Fire at Leña

At Leña, each of these cuts is carefully selected and treated with the respect it deserves. It’s not just about serving high-quality meat but bringing it to its full potential through fire, an element as primal as it is sophisticated, which Leña masters to perfection. Each ember adds a smoky touch that enriches the meat, while the technique controls the precise cooking point to elevate the experience with every bite.

Whether you prefer the intensity of the old cow ribeye, the versatility of the veal porterhouse, or the majesty of the tomahawk, at Leña, you will find the perfect cut for every palate.
